Comments on: The Demise of the Congressional Black Caucus http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2007/09/the-abandon-of-the-congressional-black-caucus/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Sat, 30 Aug 2008 08:42:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Sunil Sharma http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2007/09/the-abandon-of-the-congressional-black-caucus/#comment-6402 Sunil Sharma Tue, 25 Sep 2007 16:01:38 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2007/09/the-abandon-of-the-congressional-black-caucus/#comment-6402 To JE: We allow and encourage many people with opposing viewpoints to post comments here. Case in point: a rabid Zionist like "Jaime" in every article we publish pertaining to the Palestininan-Israeli conflict. But if all you're going to offer is personal insults, ad hominem abusives and the like, and not address the content of the article with any substance, I'm going to jettison your comment. For example, posting a comment that just says Joshua Frank has the intellectual prowess of a child as you did yestersday is not acceptable, and indeed speaks more to the infantile level of the commenter. You want to critique the article, then do it like an adult: address the issues raised in the article, not just post childish insults. If that's too difficult for you to handle, you're more than welcome to create your own website/sandbox and throw all the sand at whomever you please. To JE:

What a joke this group is. Groveling at the Israeli altar just like the rest of the traitorous Congress.

Take a look at what happened to Cynthia McKinney after she openly questioned support for Israel and sympathized with the Palestinian struggle. "War For Oil?" -- poppycock!

Which four? Lee, Waters, Conyers, etc? McKinney was no longer in Congress at that time, right? This breaks my heart. Bobby Rush was a major progressive when I lived in Chicago. “All but four CBC members opposed the legislation.”
